Deep Run High School

You guessed it! It’s time to show our Deep Run teachers and staff how thankful we are for everything that they do for our students! Each year the PTSO sends every Deep Run teacher and staff member home with a “thankful pie” during Thanksgiving week. You can help ensure that this tradition continues by making a donation via the link below ($12 purchases one pie). As always, thank you for helping the PTSO show appreciation for DRHS’s amazing teachers and staff! https://deeprun.memberhub.com/store/items/958318

Let's visit in Mrs. Jones' class today! During the Population Party students took on the role of an international world leader or a civilian. Students had to talk with each other to determine the population problems the world is facing from several different perspectives. Here is the blurb students were given: As honored guests of the World Population and Health Conference, you have been invited to attend a pre-conference mixer. The conference has brought you here in order to understand the population and health challenges facing your state (country). While the conference begins tomorrow, today is an opportunity for you to meet the other attendees and see what types of issues other states are dealing with and at the same time get to know some new faces! There were nametags, smiles, lots of conversations and snacks!

Our Deep Run Writing Center consultants enjoyed providing virtual writing consultations to Mr. Wasserman’s 5th grade students at Nuckols Farm Elementary School. The conversations about writing were productive & fun!!

When was the last time you walked into a completely silent classroom? In American Sign Language Class (ASL) students sign to their virtual instructor and each other in silence. It’s an eerie feeling to walk into a room where students are actively communicating with one another in absolute silence. The ASL class is taught virtually through Henrico County’s Virtual Academy. Mrs. Jennifer Barnes who is deaf and mute teaches the class virtually from Louisiana. Did you know there was an ASL course offered at Deep Run?
